Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Jim Conover's middle name could be Adventure. The Pekin man is a retired cop, a partner in a private detective agency, and a treasure hunter. In other words, adventure does not have to bite Conover on the butt for him to recognize it. Conover proves convincingly he knows adventure intimately in the pages of his second book, a freshman fiction effort, Greenhorns and Killer Mountains. The book, set in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, is a page-turner worthy of the time it takes to cover its 429 pages. It's a fun, modern American Western romp. Conover's strength in this volume is weaving adventure with character development. The characters come to life quickly and are developed in such a way that the reader can identify with them. The adventure at times seems a bit overblown, but, once into the book, you won't care. The pace is so fast there is hardly time to consider whether the scenario before you is completely feasible. This book is about total escapism within characters that everyday men and women can identify with. The folks in this book are what they seem, and, at the same time, more complex than they appear early on as the book progresses.
